:runner: :fire: LUMIRIC CHASE :fire: :runner:

In Lumiric Chase, you are trapped in a limbo between awakening to fulfill your dreams and the temptation to surrender to your shadows, vices, and eternal stagnation. Your only chance to end this nightmare is to seek a Signal—a light that guides your path toward a better life. Through Lumira, the Guardian of Light, you can receive the signal you need and the energy to manifest your dreams, symbolized in this dreamscape by a Bonfire. Light the fire to awaken the portal and leave behind a world where signals are ignored.

Lumiric Chase is an asymmetrical multiplayer game. One player takes the form of the Shade, a representation of those Dreamers who neglected their dreams and became trapped in the void. They have been converted by "dream extractors" on an island tormented by Ilutox, an entity that feeds on the flames of anyone who dares to dream. While the Shade hunts, the Dreamers seek out Lumira—the guardian of good who constantly emits signals, providing the flame necessary for everyone to make their dreams come true.

Quick Tips for Players: Asymmetrical 1v4: One player hosts as the Shade, others join as Dreamers.

Solo Testing: You can open the game twice on your PC to test both roles using localhost.

The Goal: Dreamers must carry Lumira's flame to the Bonfire, while the Shade must sabotage the signal to keep everyone in the dar

📡 THE THEME: SIGNAL

For us, a Signal isn't just tech—it's a desperate cry for help. When you find the light, the first thing you'll hear is: "Help me! Give me a signal!" The game is about that struggle: keeping your signal alive (your Bonfire) while the "Noise" (The Shade) tries to jam your frequency and keep you trapped in the void forever.

🔥 HOW TO PLAY

1. Beg for a Sign: Find Lumira. She is the source. If she answers, you get the Lumiric Flame.
2. Light the Beacon: Take that flame to your Bonfire. It’s your lighthouse. Feed it until it’s strong enough to break the silence.
3. Fight the Stagnation: The Shade will kick your bonfire to make your signal fade. Don't let it.
4. The Choice: Once your signal is 100%, you are safe. But will you Wake Up alone or stay in the dark to help your friends find their way?

🎨 ART & TEAM

This is a special one! First time my wife is helping me with art in a game jam! She’s doing the pixel art in Aseprite.

⚔️ THE ROLES

• Dreamers: Collect charges, heal at Lumira, and fuel your beacon. If the Shade hits you, you lose 50% of your signal.

• The Shade: You are the interference. Sabotage the bonfires and keep them lost in the static. You can't enter the light of a finished signal.

"Help me! Give me a signal!"
